Is Quench Required?
That was the Lunati cam I have in the engine right now.
At first, it was August 2013. I had degreed in at their recommended spec and anything past 1/2 throttle.... it knocked.
I tried 91 octane, 100 octane, 104 and 110 leaded. All of this was with no more than 31 degrees of total timing. The 110 was the only fuel that allowed full throttle running without any knocking at all and son of a *****....it was a monster. 3.91 gears and a 3000 stall converter and this dude felt incredibly fast. This made me want to keep the cam and find some way to make it work. December 2013 I pulled the heads for porting and the .075 head gaskets. It lost a bit of torque so in March 2014 I advanced the cam 4 degrees. March 2015 I swapped in the MP '528 and that was in the engine until June 2022 when it lost several lobes within a very short time.
